"I paint my face with glitter in the morning light, I've been up all night, I've been up all night..."
"Glitter" by Daisy the Great, the Brooklyn-based indie pop ensemble fronted by Kelley Nicole Dugan and Mina Walker, is appropriately named. It has such an exquisite pop sheen with whimsical orchestral shapes, big country folk tinged indie rock downbeats, and even baroque psych pop diversions. Front and center, within the multiple genre tentacles that reach out and pull you close are Kelly and Mina's artful vocals. Their aesthetic has a wonderful performance art, theatrical reach that is infused, injected with equal doses of sadness and joy.

Daisy the Great is the Brooklyn-based indie pop ensemble fronted by Kelley Nicole Dugan and Mina Walker. The dynamic duo is “joining a larger chorus of female pop musicians that are leaning into anarchy and melancholia” (according to Refinery 29) with their intimate, tactile lyrical observations, sung through beautiful, heartfelt harmonies. Kelley and Mina create an inviting, playful sound by combining the heavenly harmonies of First Aid Kit, the vulnerable plucking of Kimya Dawson, and the robust sincerity of Lucy Dacus.
Mina and Kelley started writing music together in 2016. The band’s debut EP, 2018’s I’ve Got a Few Friends and I Wish They Were Mine, reached success when the single “The Record Player Song” struck TikTok audiences in 2019, since amassing over five million streams. Following the release of their first album, I’m Not Getting Any Taller, in 2019, Kelley and Mina wrote & recorded their 2020 EP soft songs while quarantined apart from each other. They also worked on a collaboration with Sipper during quarantine and released the single “Friend.”
Over the last couple of years, the pair has supported acts like Indigo Girls, Sidney Gish, and Samia. They are currently working on their next record, which will be full of bops.
